Brownie Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Alright, alright – I guess you figured out that was a bad attempt playing an April Fool’s Day trick on you :P

The #CookieFriday is back home!! The last months I had many nice bloggers here for Cookie Friday – everytime with a nice recipe for you. Now it’s time again to do it myself! I was a bit.. how you say that in English? On cold turkey? :P No cookies for so long was really hard – unfortunately none of the bloggers sent real cookies along with the recipes – shame on you all! :P I guess I can make up to you and myself with these delicious chocolate chip cookies with a little surprise inside :)

So I guess you read it already – Chocolate chip cookies with brownies inside? Is that for real? How does this work? Well it’s pretty easy actually ;)

You can call them brookies (brownie-cookies) or cookiebros – I call them Brownie Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies. Cookie Monster would be proud. And if there was a Brownie Monster – that one would be happy too I guess ;) Not much you can do wrong with that kind of cookies – I guess everybody will like them!

These little fellas are very easy to make – the cookie dough is pretty much a basic one – so if you want to change it to something you like more – feel free. More chocolate or no chocolate at all – absolutely no problem. For the brownies I recommend you use your favorite brownie recipe – I used the one from my Double Chocolate Brownies. You can use them freshly baked or when a day old – just make sure they are moist and not too dry. Oh and use small pieces – worked best for me to use brownie pieces that were cut into flat discs. My first attempt was with bigger brownie pieces – at the end it looked like a cookie had swallowed a big piece of brownie. Not the look we want here – it should still look like a cookie :P

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

1. Add the butter and sugars to a large bowl and beat on high speed until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and egg and mix until well combined. In a second bowl mix flour with baking soda and salt. Add to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

2. Take about a spoonful of the dough and form a flat disc. Place a piece of brownie (best to cut them into flat slices) on top and cover with another portion of cookie dough (about a spoon) – press together and form a flattened cookie. Place on a plate and continue with the remaining dough and brownies. When done place in the fridge for at least 1 hour or over night.

3. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Prepare two baking sheets with baking parchment. Place the cookies on the baking sheets and bake for about 12 minutes – the edges should have a light golden color, but the center should be still a bit soft. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheets for some time – then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely.

About me

Hi, my name is Marc. I'm a graphic designer.
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
